Happy Birthday to Colin Cunningham (Pope) – Saturday Aug 20th

Colin is no stranger to movies and TV. Read a little about Colin from his Biography.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLIN FROM ALL OF US AT THREE IF BY SPACE!

Considered one of the most versatile actors in film and television, California native Colin Cunningham has made an underground name for himself with his complex and captivating characters. In 2011, Cunningham will debut his biggest project to date, starring alongside Noah Wyle, and Moon Bloodgood in the Steven Spielberg / Dreamworks produced series “Falling Skies,” for TNT. Cunningham is a scene stealer, as “John Pope,” the rogue survivor of the alien attack that has hit the world.

In addition to “Falling Skies,” Cunningham can be seen recurring on the CBS series “Flashpoint.” He also recently landed a role on the TNT pilot “Perception” alongside Rachael Leigh Cook and Eric McCormack, which he filmed in 2010. Cunningham has been a series lead on the shows “The Collector” [Chum TV], on the critically acclaimed series “Da Vinci’s Inquest” [CBC], and is currently co-starring in the comedy “Living in Your Car” for HBO Canada. On film, Cunningham has been pursed by Arnold Schwarzenegger in THE SIXTH DAY [Columbia Pictures], and put his life on the line for Jennifer Garner in ELEKTRA [20th Century Fox]. He has also appeared in multiple indie favorites, including comedic turns in BEST IN SHOW [Warner Bros.] and BREAKFAST WITH SCOTT [Regent Releasing].

In 2009, Cunningham made a name for himself as a director, when he [along with actor/producer Madison Graie] made the short list for an Academy Award nomination, for their film CENTIGRADE. The film [in which Cunningham also starred] took over two dozen “Best Of” awards and nominations, and in addition to being considered for the Oscar, it became the first short film in iTunes history to break the Top Ten in Feature Downloads, finding itself right alongside such Hollywood blockbusters as IRON MAN and INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL.

One of my favorite characters from Stargate SG-1, including guest roles in Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Continuum. Here is a gallery of Colin in character from some of his many roles as of late. Follow Colin on Twitter, Facebook, and Web!
